In this episode of Two-Sided, we explore how early-stage marketplace investors like Jeroen Arts at Speedinvest evaluate and support marketplace founders. Jeroen brings years of experience in identifying scalable marketplace models, high-potential founders and shares his approach to spotting opportunities and avoiding common mistakes for early stage founders.

Highlights include:

  • The power of speed in decision-making: Jeroen discusses the critical importance of “clock speed” in founders—how quickly they make decisions and adapt to change in the early days.
  • Why market focus trumps premature internationalization: Learn why trying to scale too quickly into multiple regions can backfire for many early-stage marketplace founders.
  • Trends driving marketplace innovation: Jeroen shares his excitement about emerging opportunities, especially in industries like health and Gen Z-driven consumer behaviors.
